Great location. Upstairs porch perfect for enjoying the view and the breeze off the gulf. House had everything we needed for our stay. Cable was not working, but there were a number of dvd movies. We will definitely consider staying again in the future. ##### Anita F.

We are so happy with our stay and this property! The house is so pretty, and it is the best location just 30 second walk to the beach via a designated entrance. The neighborhood is super quiet and well kept and clean. The house is well stocked with all sorts of cooking and baking items, blender, mixer, coffee machine with Keurig, as well as lots of games and puzzles! The only thing we would like to have seen/found was some sort of beach items…chairs, towels, outdoor games, etc. Those like us traveling from over 4 hours away could benefit from knowing those weren’t available…and it’s lots less headache to bring or buy when we arrive. Minus that, everything was perfect! ##### Dana P.

A couple of more comfortable chairs for living room.2\. Clean comforters and mattress protectors after each guest leaves.It was a little unnerving the way the cabin sways continually.

Well equipped kitchen. Great place for family time. Will definitely stay again. Highly recommend for people looking for an off season get away. ##### Tammy S.

Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely stay at Once Upon a Tide in mid-December 2022\. The sunrises and sunsets from the porch each day were a treat, and we enjoyed taking walks with our pups along the beach during the day. Since it was December, we pretty much had the beach to ourselves and only a handful of trucks/golf carts drove by during our entire stay. The property was so livable. It's set up for entertaining with an open-concept kitchen/living and huge dining table. You cannot beat the location, only steps away from the private beach access.One memory we'll always hold dear from our stay was watching our 14-year-old dog's eyes light up as he saw the beach. He ran faster than he's run in years. The beach truly brought his old bones back to life! We look forward to a future stay with family and friends! Thank you! ##### Amanda U.

Reviewer Comments: Great location and easy access to the beach. Wifi availability should be a no brainer these days, especially in newer homes like this one. I had to adjust the front door catch in order to keep the door from flinging open due to the winds. Also tightened the bedroom door knob and fixed a cabinet door that was lopsided and would not close properly. These are easy fixes that should be maintained and easily seen so renters do not have to deal with or call the management company for repair. Last day we were there, the tv in master bedroom fell off the shelf and broke (no one was in the room - we heard it fall). It was not attached to the wall or on a stand. Luckily, neither one of my grand kids were under it when it fell. Huge liability for owner to not secure a tv that is up high on a shelf! We told the real estate company when we turned in the key that the tv fell like that and broke, and, hopefully does not affect our deposit. Living area could use more seating as the house is listed to sleep 11 people, but there is only one sofa and two director chairs in living room. We had a great stay, but taking care of these opportunities would make future renters have an even better stay. ##### Joe S.
